An exercise apparatus comprises a tractor tyre having a number of holes spaced circumferentially around the tread part of the tyre. Bars are provided adjacent the holes such that the bars are accessible from the outside of the tyre via the holes. Several of the holes (H, fig. 1) are of a size allowing the bars (J, fig. 5) to be used as handles, e.g. for lifting or flipping the tyre. At least one hole (K, fig. 5) is smaller, with the corresponding bar (L, fig. 5) being intended as an attachment point for accessories such as ropes (not shown) for pulling the tyre along the ground. The apparatus further comprises a rigid plate or wheel which spans the central aperture in one wall of the tyre, the plate/wheel forming a platform upon which exercises can be performed. The plate or wheel is shaped to engage with the tyre wall bead, and is fixed to the tyre using connectors which extend through the tyre and attach to a second plate/wheel in engagement with the bead of the opposing tyre wall (see fig. 1). |
